We are delighted to announce the full programme for the Journal of Media 
Practice and MeCCSA Practice Network Annual Symposium 2017, taking place 
at Bath Spa University on Thursday 8th June 2017 and hosted by the Media 
Convergence Research Centre. This year's symposium will explore the 
theme of ‘Practice and/as Media Industry Research’. Registration is now 
open.

While the study of media industries itself indicates a bridging between 
theory and practice – between the study of media forms and the 
pragmatics of media making – far less attention has been paid to what 
the study of media industries looks like as practice-based or 
practice-led research, or how collaboration between academia and the 
media industries actively shapes practice.

As such, the symposium will feature keynote lectures by Prof Kerstin 
Stutterheim (Bournemouth University), John Mateer (University of York) 
and Prof Bambo Soyinka (Bath Spa University) on questions of practice 
and/as media industry research. The day will feature a series of 
workshops about practices of Documentary Ethics, the ‘New Media 
Professor’, and Information Game Narratives, as well as panels devoted 
to Screen Cultures & Collaborative Practices, Digital & Media Art 
Practices, Film & Documentary Practices, and Media Education Practices. 
We will also showcase the winner of our MediaWall competition, which 
sought to attract screen-based artworks that creatively examine and 
interrogate questions related to the workings of the media industries.
